I bought them. From SU

One thing I have noticed with the Metro Grey Color, it has a lot of different looks depending on the lighting. I have had the car for 4months and went out to leave work today and it was a really light gray I have never seen it.

Sometimes you can get hints of greens or blues depending on what kind of lighting you are in. Or it might look very light. Sometimes it looks very dark. It's a really nice color that gives you different effects

OK Have had mine for less than 24hrs now but beside all the other GREAT stuff about this car one of the things that impressed me, and office mates, was the amount of metal flake in the Metro Mica Grey! AWESOME!!!!!(mj)

You dont upload them to this site, use something like flikr or i use photobucket then it gives you the img code for the picture and just paste it into the reply box, make sure to hit enter between pictures though.

OK so I STILL don't have pics BUT. I put her through her first set of paces last evening! I live in SW area of CT so as you go North and either east or west the roads get AWESOME.

So a little back ground first. My bike is a cruiser not a corner carver. So yeah I get a thrill but not like a crotch rocket.

So day one of ownership of my MS3 GT I decide, as was highly recommended here, to DRIVE. So that I did after work yesterday.

All I can really say at the moment is HOLY SH---- I LOVE THIS CAR. Corner carving in four wheels hase NEVER been sweeter for me.

Had an opportunity MANY years ago to ride in a TVR (I think that was the acronym) UK car with a mustang mach1 engine tuned for the roads in England. Cornered a "roundabout" at about 80mph plus with no issue.

So yesterday evening I decide well enough with the "geezer" drive gotta let her rip just a bit. No heavy pedal action mind you just nice and steady to about 85mph. Now mind you this is on a nice 2 lane posted at 25mph. Like the tag line says can't wait to feel the rush, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND IT WAS!

May just be the best 4 wheel vehicle I've ever purchased!

[essejkcamraw]

whats the difference between an 08 speed and 08.5?

[TurboDreams]

suede seats and a few minor interior trim pieces.. also they offered MGM and CPW

[CWPspeed3]

waiting for first 08.5 gt owner to chime in with "they arent suede they are alcantara!". That and pianio black trim instead of silver, same on the seats. MP3 cd players and as previously mentioned the addition of two colors and subtraction of the blue and silver.

[john blutarski]

That is officially my favorite color although I love my CWP.
